Pope Likes Breakdancing
"Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it," said Pope John Paul II on Sunday about a performance of break-dancers who leaped, flipped and spun their bodies to beats from a tiny boom box. "For this creative hard work I bless you from my heart," he said approving of the display and applauding enthusiastically. It's nice to know the Pope's got beats, and dancing is not yet a sin. However, the Pope did not comment on the music.
